Answer

How does staff loss affect security in Mallorca?

When police numbers fall, patrol coverage becomes thinner and response capacity can suffer, especially during busy periods. In Mallorca, that matters not only in Palma but also in coastal towns where seasonal pressure adds to the workload. Fewer officers can also mean more strain on the people who remain on duty.
